Advantages: Great acting, good story, great atmosphere Disadvantages: Maybe the ending
This is a film-only review.
There are a lot of things that I have never done.
I have never seen any of the Indiana Jones films. I have never seen a James Bond film. And I had never seen a Woody Allen film.
The main reason was ?don?t ask me why- that I always assumed that his films were weird and that I would not understand them. So when my boyfriend told me he had got Vicky Cristina Barcelona for me to watch, I wasn?t too sure that I was going to give it a try.

Advantages: A lifetime of sights to see, excellent transport, amazing ice cream Disadvantages: Very busy
I visited here with two student friends in 2003, on a mission to soak up a lot of culture, have a great time and not spend much money, and we did pretty well on all counts. After sitting through years of torturous Latin lessons at school, I had high hopes for the city.
